Jamal Musiala is closing in on a return to action for Bayern Munich but will not be available for the Bundesliga season opener against VfB Stuttgart on Friday, coach Vincent Kompany said. The 23-year-old collapsed due to absence seizures in two pre-season friendlies and is sitting out the start to the campaign while his medication is adjusted.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has revealed that midfielder Jamal Musiala is nearing a return to action, though he will miss the upcoming Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart. The 23-year-old has been absent due to absence seizures, which have prompted a review of his medication. Kompany stated that Musiala is feeling better and is expected to participate fully in the team's final training session, but his return to the squad is not imminent.
In other news, winger Lennart Karl will be reinstated to the Bayern Munich lineup for the first time since his muscle injury prior to the World Cup. Karl, 18, will be evaluated regarding his role within the team.
